Special Mention

The history of the Delhi Chapter, and in fact of ISHRAE, will be incomplete without mentioning the contributions of two individuals. They are Dr. P.C. Jain and Mr. M.M. Pande.

Dr. P.C. Jain , Chairman of Spectral Services Consultants and a founder member of ISHRAE , has been a leading light and a source of inspiration to ISHRAE. For the first ten years, when ISHRAE did not have its office, it was Dr. Jain who offered his office and residence for ISHRAE meetings. He has always volunteered his services and advise whenever ISHRAE needed him. He is the President Emeritus of ISHRAE.

Mr. M.M. Pande, also a founding member, is affectionately called the ‘Pitamah’ of ISHRAE. He is contributing his selfless services till date. He wrote the constitution of ISHRAE and has guided its member’s at all important events and functions. He has been honoured as the President Emeritus of both the Delhi Chapter and ISHRAE.
